God smites own car





In an apparent insurance scam, God smote his own Honda Civic, on loan to the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, during a thunderstorm this past Tuesday evening. Officials are still uncertain whether wind or lightning was the tool of the compact car's demise. Eyewitnesses reported a loud cracking sound as the tree uprooted from its mooring in a small bed on the south side of W. 51st Street, narrowly missing Sacred Heart of Jesus RC Church as it hit the ground. The tree blocked traffic for several hours as a police emergency service team cut the smashed Honda free using a chainsaw. The sisters were seen gathered around the car to give last rites as police arrived. God was questioned and released pending further investigation.
